Captain Periwinkle's Journey
My canoe will make it all the way to Hudson Bay. I hope it sees cool animals with cool nature and meets a salamander. Along the way my canoeՉs journey will be an amazing experience for my boat, Captain Periwinkle.
Today PenelopeՉs mom brought home a wooden canoe. She told Penelope, ՉYou should design it and put it down the river. It would be a fun experience for you to learn about the water routes and things about the rivers, lakes, and oceans,Չ PenelopeՉs mom said.
ՉYou know, that would be fun! The boatՉs name will be Captain Periwinkle. It will be so much fun to design,Չ replied Penelope.
Penelope decided she would finish this week and put Captain Periwinkle in the Turtle River this Friday. When it was time, Penelope placed her boat in the water and said, ՉGoodbye! Have a fun journey!Չ
On the journey a salamander gets stuck on the wooden boat and can't get off. The boat then tips over and won't turn back up. The salamander is still on! She sees a moose. The moose comes over and picks the salamander off. The salamanderՉs name is Lillianna, Lilly for short. Lilly goes to get food and then hops back on the boat. They go back on their journey again.
Four weeks later Captain Periwinkle runs into beavers. With the adult beavers there are baby beavers as well. The babies love the boat and want to play with it. The mom of the baby beavers takes the boat away and placed her back into the water.
A few days later they run into a buffalo with baby bunnies and rabbits. The buffalo doesn't think much of the boat, or salamander so keeps going on with his day. The buffalo then passes it to the bunnies and rabbits to play. They love the salamander but then their parents take away the boat and the salamander and put it back in the water.
Two weeks later, the boat lands on shore. The boat got stuck on land for about two days. Then a bear family comes with baby cubs and takes the boat home. The cubs try to eat the salamander, but the adults snatched her from the cubs.
One month later, Captain Periwinkle sees fish jumping over the boat and soon notices that she is about to travel down a waterfall! Lilly is still on surprisingly. The waterfall is about three miles long from the top and it is also very steep! Captain Periwinkle is exited but more nervous because she might tip over. Lilly was so nervous because she was hanging from the side!
Captain Periwinkle sees more animals, humans playing, and more nature. At the last stop before the ocean Lilly gets off onto her new journey.
When she reaches the ocean a bunch of fish and sharks are there. They greet her and show her around. She gets to see coral and meet new friends. Captain Periwinkle loves the ocean because of the colors, animals, the feeling of the weeds and coral, the depth, and the waves. She loves everything about the ocean.
A big boat grabs Captain Periwinkle and is fascinated by everything the boat has. They had caught Captain Periwinkle in a fisher's net and was surprised. They put her back in the water. Captain Periwinkle is picked up by one more family and they are impressed!
ՉMom, can we please take this little boat home?Չ Asked the twins and the two small boys.
ՉNo, this boat needs to continue on her journey,Չ replied the mom. The parents said to take a picture of the boat for memories. They put the boat in the boat back in the water.
Captain Periwinkle finally makes it to Hudson Bay, where she then meets Penelope ten years after Capitan Periwinkle was made. Penelope sees her boat and says, ՉWow, that's my boat!Չ Penelope was so excited she found her boat.
